Once upon a time I had it at least compile, but for my board only.
But then you mentioned you were working on it and I dropped it.
Could you please elaborate on the tasks that need to be done?
I know that the head_8xx.S file definetely needs alot of work,
and you mentioned the drivers.
What is the minimum stuff needed to make it work at least for my
boards?

I'd be happy to help at least as long as my busy schedule permits.
